Drip systems, smart controllers, zone rebuilds, and repair. Cuts residential outdoor water 30–50%. Proper emitters per plant. Backflow installed to El Paso code.
El Paso Water raised rates three years running and tightened watering windows to two days a week in summer. A properly zoned drip system with a smart controller cuts water consumption 30–50% on most retrofits — and keeps plants happier, because they get the water they need at the root.
Typical El Paso home on municipal water spends $120–$240/month on outdoor watering in summer. Cutting that 40% is $48–$96/month back. A $2,500 drip and smart-controller retrofit pays for itself in 2–3 years, then saves money every summer after.
